It is a bug actually. Normally in PHP if you accidentally treat a filename as part of a directory path when looking to see if a file exists under it, it just says there is no file underneath. With any open_basedir set, PHP has a fit.

If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).

If so, please let others know about ocPortal whenever you see the opportunity.

This is also in my error log[06-May-2012 03:45:21 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_translated_text() in /home/hideaway/public_html/sources/zones.php on line 483

Anyway I downloaded the files.php provided, Since the open_basedir error occurs at step 7 I didn't want to get through the install to an error before replacing it, so I put it in the ocp file replacing the existing one.

Just to be clear what I mean there, I don't mean that in a disparaging way… just that if you chase your tail on every little fix, you'll expend a lot of your time doing it, and probably need to ask a lot of questions and create some confusion due to having a non-standard install. I think a patch will be out soon, and that will be far more manageable. I think the only issues I consider notable at the moment are this install issue, and the downloader issue Fletch found (described as an RSS problem).

I am going to release what we have here as 8.0.1 but I'm going to recommend existing users happy on 8.0.0 skip this release. I don't want people to waste their own time unless there's a reason to upgrade – there are enough frustrations using such a large platform . My concern really is making sure it installs smoothly for people.

Absolutely not! How else do you think I spice up my retirement days?

Will certainly complain loudly (oh, OK, maybe 'sotto voce'), but if something doesn't play right, I shall mention it here!

I'm hoping we see an 8.1 release before too long with the bug fixes and, at least, the following new features:Anti-spam/spammer databaseGrid layout in cc_embedDynamic filtering

Chris will wisely not comment on these and probably wants to hold up any release to availa "upgrade fatigue" but these are the things I am most anxious for.
